Nominations are Open!

The GENE Awards, presented by Life Sciences Queensland, are the state’s flagship celebration of achievement across the life sciences sector. Held annually, these prestigious accolades are awarded at a vibrant gala luncheon, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and changemakers. There's so much to celebrate in the sector, and we're looking forward to recognising the people and companies making an impact in Queensland's life sciences.

The winners will be unveiled at the Gala Luncheon, with a bold new look - refreshed award imagery that reflects the vibrant corporate colours of our long-standing sponsors. A warm welcome back to Radium Capital, joining Cytiva, KE Select, McCullough Robertson, Merck, QIMR Berghofer, and the Rose-Anne Kelso Testamentary Trust. These committed LSQ Members have long championed innovation and impact and now take centre stage as we honour the best in the field.
